Spain's Health Ministry has confirmed a new hantavirus infection in a quarantined contact already under monitoring at Madrid’s Gómez Ulla Hospital

In a recent media briefing, the World Health Organization confirmed eight reported hantavirus cases linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship, while stressing the rare outbreak does not spread like COVID or influenza. Citizens from these 13 countries got off the cruise ship at St. Helena before they learned about the outbreak: the US, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, St Kitts

Airlink has also confirmed that the deceased Dutch national infected with the hantavirus had flown from Saint Helena to Johannesburg aboard an Airlink flight before boarding a KLM aircraft to fly to Amsterdam. The World Health Organization, the CDC, Canada, and UK have all issued fresh hantavirus updates. Spain's Ministry of Health announces "the person with symptoms who had been on a plane in Gran Canaria since yesterday has been transferred to Amsterdam on a new medicalized plane"

After confirming that the MV Hondius will arrive in the Canary Islands following the hantavirus outbreak, Spain has officially received the first three suspected hantavirus cases, despite the Canary Islands' president disagreeing with the decision. UPDATE: WHO informs the public that Swiss authorities have confirmed another case of Hantavirus in a previous passenger from the same ship

In light of the security situation, the Health Ministry provides updated contact numbers for resilience and emergency health centers
